Since it's the last night of Channukah, I thought I would show you all a couple pictures that we took this evening. The first one is of both of our menorahs and the second is a close-up of mine.Why two menorahs?
When we got married, Josh's parents bought him the gold coloured, short menorah. For those of you in the market for a menorah, Josh's is perfectly designed for small hands as it is tip-over proof because it is low and has a very heavy base. This menorah's background features spinning dreidels.
The taller, more elaborate, silver menorah used to belong to my maternal grandparents. If you take a close look at the second photo, you can see the Ten Commandments framed by two lions of Israel.We were supposed to go over to Josh's parents for the eighth night, but he has a bad cold and is sitting in front of the tv drinking Neo Citran. Poor baby.

Hope Josh feels better soon...
Very beautiful! Thanks for posting the pics.
I used to have one that was made of clay and bolts. It was fetching
What great pictures! I do hope that Josh is feeling better sooner rather then later.
Between Deuce, your teeth and Josh's cold - you guys haven't been doing so well lately!!
Gorgeous lights, Rhonda - your Menorah's are beautiful and the lights are brilliant.
Gorgeous!!! It is so nice to have something so special to give to your daughter when the time comes!!!!
Those menorahs are beautiful. I love the history behind the one that belonged to your grandparents. I hope Josh is feeling better soon.
Those are gorgeous menorahs! There's an article in this month's Country Home (or Country Living ?) on vintage menorahs. The ones they featured were similar to your grandparents'. They also had an interesting history to them, because the Jews in Europe at the time weren't allowed to be in the arts and crafts industry (I don't know what else to call it right now), so they were handcrafted by non-Jews. Anyway, I just thought they were so lovely and I guess they are pretty rare, as well.
Have a wonderful weekend, and feel better soon!
Those are really pretty.
Hope Josh feels better soon!
Keep smilin!
